*Both are Conroe
*E6600 is only $15 more
*3060 has 4M of L2 Cache instead of 2


Does anyone have 1 good reason why I shouldn't go with a Xeon 3060 ?
 
do they both perform the same???
you need a xeon mobo for a xeon cpu.
yes xeon are very atractive imo.
 
depending on what "xeon" mobo you buy, a xeon mobo can take 32gb or ram (that's a lot)
do a search on the processor for "xeon 3060 review"
it's a server processor, made for, 24h power on i think. they run cooler i think, on the newegg users review they say it is very good for ocing.
 
I think a better question is why go with E6600 when E6750 is cheaper and seems much better?

(NewEgg Prices)
Xeon 3060 - $243.99 - 2.4Ghz Stock - No G0 Stepping Available - 1066Mhz FSB - 9x Multi - Max Temp 60°C
E6600: $227.99 - 2.4Ghz Stock - No G0 Stepping Available - 1066Mhz FSB - 9x Multi - Max Temp 60.1°C
E6750: $194.99 - 2.66 Stock - Only G0 Stepping ;) - 1333Mhz FSB - 8x Multi - Max Temp 72°C

So, except for the slightly lower multi, E6750 is the obvious choice.
Also, the Xeon your looking at, E6600 and E6750 all have 4MB L2
 
hmm WhiteZero ... i guess you're right ... so the Xeon makes no real sense.. thanks for the info !!!
